It's a great pleasure to see ARA Members come together to share and promote their hobby in a constructive and inclusive way. ARA members are involved in many events around Australia in any given year but it's an extra special mention today for some of our members who are actively promoting both their own hobby as well as the ARA.
Great news has just came in!
We have just heard from the Victorian Department of Justice that the ARA has been successful in it's application to be added to the Victorian Control of Weapons Exemption List for the benefit of our members in Victoria and for those members of other states who wish to participate in re-enactment events in Victoria.
The Department of Justice representative advises that the new Orders will be published within the next two months so if (and only if) the Department of Justice proceeds on schedule, ARA Members should expect to have their Victorian Control of Weapons Exemption in time for Easter 2014.
We will keep you posted and all ARA members will be notified directly via e-mail as soon as the Orders have been published.
It represents a significant milestone for the ARA.
